Microsoft Unveils the Surface Pro 4

Microsoft unveiled the Surface Pro 4 today and not only does it outshine its predecessor in every way, it looks like we might finally get a device that really does Windows 10 justice. We'll definitely know more once everyone gets their hands on the hybrid laptop/tablet, but could this be the device everyone has been waiting for?

The Surface Pro 4 features a 12.3-inch PixelSense Gorilla Glass 4 display with 267 ppi, a 3:2 aspect ratio, and a resolution of 2736x1824. Your choice of a Core M3, i5, or i7 processor, which comes with either an Intel HD graphics 515, 520, or Intel Iris graphics card. You can also choose between 4, 8, or 16 GB of RAM and 128, 256, 512GB, or 1TB of SSD storage. So clearly, you have a lot of options.

Throw in Bluetooth 4.0 LE support, microSD card support, USB 3.0 and Mini DisplayPort connectivity, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front camera (both with 1080p HD recording), a fingerprint sensor, Windows 10 Pro, and a battery that provides up to 9 hours of battery life while playing video and you've got a Surface Pro to be reckoned with. Oh, and don't forget the Surface Pen Stylus, docking stations, and the Pro Type Cover.

Prices start at $799 but with all the different options there are sure to be a wide variety of price points. Preorders start on October 7th and the device will ship on October 26th, same day as The Surface Book.
